This "hybrid" program (livestream and in-person) not only lowers the cost, but it also offers the best of both worlds: Learning out of the comfort of your own home, and the in-person experience offers a transmission that can only come through direct hands-on contact.
MORE SPECIFICS OF WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- The 25+ Somatic Movement Flows® in this course can be explored as stand-alone therapeutic sequences, and/or arranged for full length group movement classes.
- Instead on the focus on static stretching, you learn the skill of pandiculation. This is a method of brain-to-muscle repatterning and strengthening, thereby offering long-term beneficial results for many common physical conditions.
- Stress is often stored in the body tissues. This shows up as pain, stiffness, and posture imbalances. Gentle Somatic Yoga (GSY) helps you feel more comfortable in your body.
- This process is a re-education for the soma, so that you can re-find freedom in everyday movement. In this training you will learn the neuroscience, philosophy, and method of Gentle Somatic Yoga® (GSY).
- Each soma is unique, often due to genetics, injuries, surgeries, and other big life experiences. In this course you will learn tips and modifications that are make this method adaptable for most people.
- Emphasis will be on finding your own inner teacher through experiential learning and relying less on “doing it right” according to traditional hierarchical instruction or demonstration.
